65th Ave: near Meridian Park Hospital

This project will improve pedestrian safety by adding a new mid-block crosswalk to connect the sidewalk on the west side of 65th Avenue with the hospital on the east side. The new crosswalk will provide a safe place to cross the street in between the signalized intersections and be located to coordinate with the TriMet bus stops.

Community Survey #2 had 67 total responses. The results were very close with no overwhelming preference for one location over the other.
